Parent Permission for “R” Rated FilmsFilm 2017-2018Dear parents,Your child has enrolled in my film analysis course. The class will cover the same skills and objectives when studying and analyzing a novel, such as plot and character development, theme, allusions, conflict, determining audience, archetypes, point of view, rhetorical shift, setting, styles, tone, and mood. By analyzing the director’s use of color, lighting, camera direction, costume, soundtrack, and other elements, students will have the chance to approach concepts studied only in literature in a new visual format. Essentially, the students will learn how to deconstruct the film to help critical and independent thinking.The fundamental objective of this course is that students learn to perceive, understand, and evaluate films more effectively, with greater assurance, validity, and pleasure. To achieve this objective, we will study the basic principles and techniques of film art, with emphasis upon the complementary contributions of the director, the cinematographer, the editor, and the screenwriter.Throughout the course, we will be watching a wide array of films, some of which may include an “R” rating. By signing this permission slip, you are giving me your initial consent for your child to watch the films I bring into the classroom. Should you or your child ever be uncomfortable with a selection I bring in, they always have the option to opt out of the film and receive an alternate assignment. All films watched in class are award winning and critically acclaimed films. Please email me at any time if you have any questions or concerns. On the back of this page is the list of films I have in my library that I pull from for class. They are all rated R. has a great parental guide for each of these films, breaking down what you as a parent may take issue with. Please highlight a film on the list specifically that you do not want your child to watch, and I will make sure your child has an alternate activity when I show that specific film.Thank you for your support!Heather HillI give my child permission to view any film shown in class unless I choose to withdraw permission for an individual film at a later date.Student Name: __________________________ Parent Signature:____________________________30010 Things I Hate About You12 Years a Slave28 Days Later28 Weeks Later3:10 to Yuma8 MileA.I.: Artificial IntelligenceAbyss, TheAirplane!Akira JimboAliAll Of MeAll The Kings MenAmelieAmerican BeautyAmerican History XAmerican HustleAmerican PsychoAmerican SniperAmerican, TheAmistadAmores PerrosAn Officer and a GentlemanAnd the Band Played OnAnna And The KingApocalypse NowApocalyptoApollo 13ArgoAround The World In 80 DaysAs Good As It GetsAssassination Of Jesse James, TheAtonementAugust: Osage CountyBabelBarbarellaBattle RoyaleBeasts Of The Southern WildBefore MidnightBefore SunriseBefore SunsetBend It Like BeckhamBest In ShowBeverly Hills CopBig Chill, TheBig Heat, TheBig LebowskiBig Short, TheBirdmanBlack DynamiteBlack Hawk DownBlack SwanBladerunnerBlazing SaddlesBlind Side, TheBlood DiamondBlood SimpleBlood WorkBlow OutBlowoutBonnie and ClydeBoratBowling for ColumbineBoyhoodBoys Don't CryBrave HeartBreakfast At Tiffany’sBride And PrejudiceBridge On The River KwaiBrokeback MountainBrooklynBull DurhamCabin in the WoodsCaptain PhillipsCarrieCasinoCasino RoyaleCast AwayCatch Me If You Can (2003)Catch-22Catching FireCell, TheCharlie And The Chocolate FactoryCharlie Willson's WarChildren Of MenChinatownCitizen KaneCity of GodClass, TheClockwork Orange, AClose Encounters of the Third KindCloud AtlasCold MountainCollateralColombianaComing To AmericaConstant Gardener, TheCoralineCrashCreedCrocodile DundeeCurious Case Of Benjamin ButtonDances with WolvesDawn Of The DeadDazed And ConfusedDead Man WalkingDead Poets SocietyDeath ProofDeathtrapDeer Hunter, TheDefying GenocideDeliveranceDeparted, TheDial M For MurderDinerDirty HarryDistrict 9Diving Bell and the Butterfly, TheDjango UnchainedDo the Right ThingDogmaDonnie DarkoDouble IndemnityDreamgirlsDressed to KillDriveEastern PromisesEasy AEasy RiderEdward ScissorhandsElectionElizabethEnter the DragonEternal Sunshine of the Spotless MindExorcist, TheFall, TheFarewell to Arms, AFargoFast Food NationFast Times At Ridgemont HighFemme FataleFever PitchFew Good Men, AFifth Element, TheFight ClubFilm Noir: Bringing Darkness to LightFinding ForresterFish Called Wanda, AFlashdanceFlightFor Love Of The GameForrest GumpFour Months, Three Weeks, and Two DaysFrailtyMan With The Golden ArmFrankenstein (Mary Shelley’s)French Connection, TheFrenzyFrequencyFried Green TomatoesFrost NixonFull Metal JacketFuryGalaxy QuestGame, TheGangs Of New YorkGaslandGattacaGhost And The DarknessGirl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest (Swedish)Girl Who Played With Fire (Swedish)Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Daniel Craig)Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Swedish)Gods and GoddessesGone GirlGood Night, And Good LuckGoodwill HuntingGran TorinoGrand Budapest Hotel, TheGravityGrey, TheGuardians of the GalaxyHannaHard CandyHarlan County USAHarry Potter and the Sorceror's StoneHelp, TheHerHigh TensionHistory Of Violence, AHurt Locker, TheI Saw the DevilI, RobotIdaIdiocracyInceptionInglorious BastardsInterstellarInto the WoodsIntouchables, TheJarheadJFKJunoKill Bill Volume 1Kill Bill: Volume 2Killing, TheKingdom of HeavenKings Speech, TheKiss Kiss, Bang BangL.A.
